Indian actress Antara Banerjee reportedly assaulted railway officials on a train, according to reports. The incident occurred on August 12 when Banerjee, who was on her way to a shoot in Surat, was sitting in an AC coach but had a sleeper-class ticket. She reportedly began yelling obscenities at authorities and waved a blade, causing injury to a railway personnel member.

She also attempted to break a window to escape before being apprehended and brought before a court. Banerjee has since been granted bail. The charges include assault on public servants, causing harm, endangering safety and insulting officials.
